FIFA World Cup Preview

Well, not really a preview of the games, teams and matchups in the FIFA World Cup 2006, which begins next week, but some shots of the players (hotties) going through their final stages of preparation for the world's most watched sports event.

On June 9, in Munich, the host country and one of the favorites to win, Germany, faces Costa Rica, while in Gelsenkirchen, Poland faces Ecuador.

Bernie and Reggie, thanks for dropping in. I'm rooting for Brazil, but I have T&T as my underdog team, along with Ghana. I just want to see Adriano, Ronaldo or Ronaldinho take the ball all the way up the field and pop it right into the net, turn the damn game OUT! But you know, along the way, I'll be checking out all the sights. Reggie, I think Cisse did go blond four years ago; I was most intrigued by that tattoo spreading angelically across his back! Thierry Henry...it sounds good, doesn't it? About as good as he looks!
